Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.52-5
Severity: normal
The steam package does not list all of its runtime dependencies. After a mixup
of libc6 that uninstalled all my i386 libraries, I tried reinstalling steam,
and ran into a runtime error "Failed to load steamui.so". After locating
steamui.so and running ldd on it and ignoring the libraies steam provided
locally I could see several libraries steamui.so depended on that the Debian
steam packages hadn't depended on. Including: (all i386 versions) something
with libGL.so, libpulse libgtk2.0 libxrandr libXtst libxrender.
If you add those to the steam package dependencies list, I believe it will be
much more likely that users will have a smooth experience using it.
